nAll the happiness had left him, and now there was nothing but anger and revenge. Adrian looked at the scene and felt his anger manifolds a thousand times. He noticed David was talking with her, placing his hand on her shoulder. He sensed that David is more than a colleague to Kathie through his gesture. His ocean blue eyes look like burning charcoal seeing them together.

nHe came out of the cabin and went inside her cabin, David and Katherine were still talking as if nothing was wrong.

nHe narrowed his eyes and stood at the edge of the room. David was amazed to see the new CEO, Adrian, in Kathie's cabin as no CEO came to his employee's cabin.

n

"Well, well. Looks like this is where you guys are on a private getaway,

" Adrian's voice sounded deep and the anger was apparent in every word.

nDavid wanted to protest but Adrian was already talking.

n

"And just how long have you been here?

" Adrian asked, his eyes staring at Katherine.

nShe looked up at him and saw his anger,

"It's been a while. I wanted to congratulate her for her new position

" David replied in a low tone.

nAdrian's lips formed a tight line and said,

"Well, I wanted to congratulate her myself.

" Adrian's eyes locked on David with rage but didn't show it on his face.

nThen he said in a soft tone,

" It's not a good idea to waste precious working hours

"

n

" Sorry, sir. It will never happen again

" David apologized to Adrian looking pitifully at Katherine.

nHe stepped out of her cabin and went to his cabin leaving Katherine and Adrian alone. Adrian looked at Katherine with bloodshed eyes.

n

" Still, you have the charms to attract men like a few years back? Isn't it?

" He questioned her.

nShe felt a sting of pain in her heart with his words, especially by the loved person. She knew how much he used to love her. He used to treat her as the queen of his heart. She lowered her head and remained silent. She cried in her heart because she knew it's her mistake to leave him without any words. She didn't get a chance to explain her situation even though she tried after some time.

n

" Silence means you are agreeing with me,

" he said with a serious expression.

nThen he continued.

n

" So what you decided? Working with me as Assistant or should I fire you from the job?

" He asked her.

nAdrian started to walk towards her but Katherine was scared. She flinched when Adrian came closer to her.

n

" You think you're safe? I just get to enjoy my revenge, these three months, I will make you pay for what you've done to me.

" Adrian said as a sneer on his face.

nKatherine with a trembling voice replied,

"Yes, I will work with you. But I cannot stay after 5 in the evening

"

nAdrian's eyes narrowed. He took a step forward towards her and looked at her face. His eyes seemed to search for something but his face was obscured by the shadow of his hood.

n

" But why?

" Adrian asked, his eyes still narrow.

n

" I can not say. But I have to go. I don't discuss my personal matters with my colleagues or superiors

" Katherine replied.

n

" Yeah...Just now, I saw how professional you will be with your colleagues,

" he mocked her.

nShe understood that he misunderstood the relation between David and her but she doesn't want to explain it to him because he is not the old Adrian anymore. He became a Rich and Arrogant businessman.

nAnd also she was now scared to tell him about her son Sam. She was scared thinking what if he separates his son from her as he is not the same person. She doesn't want to reveal about Little Sam as she noticed anger and hate in his eyes for her. She was not in a position to trust him and lose her son who is the reason for her to live.

nAnd also she doesn't want to ruin Emily and Adrain's love life. She doesn't want him to get back in her life because of their son. She doesn't want him to think of her as a gold digger.

nWhen she came out of her thoughts, suddenly with his voice.

n

" Then I have one condition, if you want to leave, you want to work up to 5 in the evening,

" he said in a stern voice.

nShe looked at him skeptically looking at his face. She didn't expect that he would convince her so easily.. But she was scared of thinking of his condition.
